Issued circular to the Knights OF Labor
all over the country suggesting that they
celebrate the Fourth of July by parades and
meetings. He says:
In the line of march and on your stands
and public places use only one Gag, the
Stars and Stripes. Show to the world, no
matter where the Knights of Labor citizen
was born, he respects and honors the United
States flag. Show to the world that we are
determined to find what Is wrong in our
system Of government, and that we are
equally rs determined to right such wrongs
ms may exist by peaceful, legitimate means.
desire also that the question Of the res
toration Of the peoples lands TO the care OF
the people be discussed. Pass resolutions
declaring that the holding of from so to GO
millions of acres OF the public domains by
aliens is sinful and un-American. Go fur
ther, and demand that the allen landlord
shall let go his hold. Pass resolutions de-
claring that every acre of land acquired by
fraud, perjury or chicanery Is an acre
stolen, and demand that the thief be re-
CURED to make restitution to the people.
Pass resolutions never TO take your eyes off
the land until one good, plain, simple, hon
est law shall govern the holding OF land
whether the holder be rich or poor, indl-
vidual or corporation.
Make the land for the people, under the
peoples laws, the question of the law. Il
was not for mir, sunshine or water alone
that our fathers fought II was for the land
and we must hold the land free from the

TEXAS DISCIPLINE.



TAYLOR, Tex May 13.-A few nights
ago seven men went to the residence of
James Trim, south of town, called him
out, then with drawn guns compelled him
to 20 with them short distance from his
home, where they gave him hard
whipping. His body was badly lacerated.
Mrs. Trim followed her husband from the
house, but was ordered back to her room
ut the point of revolver.
Trim had been sending his children to
school and the female teacher had
whipped one of his boys severely. In a
fit of wrath Trim had written note to
the teacher telling her she did not know
how TO teach that she had beaten his
child numerically and that ii she were a
man he would whip her.
The outlaws purchased tickets for Mr..
Trim and family and sent them out Of
the county, but they will be brouRh,
back TO identify the men. Trim and wife
recognized six of the seven. The first
arrest was made yesterday in the person
OF Willie Lewis. Warrants have been
issued for the arrest of the other six men.

A Large se,xure Of Gaoau.

SAN FRANcIsco, May Alt Is stated that
the treasury agents at Hong Kong were
eognizant OF the fact that the opium which
was seized yesterday would be sent by the
steamer Rio Janeiro and the collector here
was appraised by telegraph early yesterday
morning. By large, tempered steel probe
the various boxes, cases and baskets OF the
large consignment Of freight were searched
through by the customs officers and the re-
suit Of the investigation was the seizure OF
several piles OF goods, which by order OF
the deputy collector were taken TO the
seizure room in the appraisers building.
The haul comprised about 20 tons or 800
cases Of merchandise and made three truck
loads. II Is is now estimated that the con-
traband goods seized are worth $50, 900.
This Is the largest seizure ever made on the
coast.
